Well, you start out with 20 life. So that's plenty to use for a Force of Will or two. See, the trick is, not to get hurt at all during a match. :P

That's why I take white - I need healing, as my stuff usually gets womped early on.

There are some nice healing cards from green as well.

Natural Spring comes to mind - 5 mana for 8 life, but a high price to pay, considering that lifelink only costs 1 white and all combat damage you deal is reflected to you in healing from one creature.

There are some "Pay X mana, gain X life" cards as well.

I never understood all the hassle about the early design. Nobody ever had it in their hands, but everybody had an opinion about it. I bet everyone would've been thrilled if it had been Nintendo to present such a controller.

That's what I thought. We didn't even get chance to use that controller but everyone was up in arms about it so they had to change back. Too bad YouTube and Facebook don't revert back, eh?

Now that would be cool.

You were mocking that dragon.

I didn't. You said he won't find a dragoness being all flat. I said dragons should be able to view past the outer appearance. It's the inner values that count!

You thought it was amusing to take a picture of him.

I just took a picture of him to show you that there are Dragons in Singapore as well. If he really did mind me taking a picture he sure would've prevented it.

That's the rotation format. I like that format since then I'd only have to revise on the newer cards rather than some bizarre card from 1994. :P

Hm, I just had to look up the editions from 1994: Antiquities, Legends, Fallen Empires. Wikipedia says, even today you can get boosters from Fallen Empires, so no problems there. Antiquities and Legends aren't that important to my knowledge. Ice Age was a pretty good edition, Homelands not so much. Alliances was my favorite edition, that's why I had all the cards. ^^

What? Surely those packs aren't still in print. Maybe it's possible to grab them online.

No, they aren't in print any more. But there where printed so many cards that they never sold all of them.

Are you talking about him being 150% your own age because he has the time to stay on Newgrounds? If so, then you should take into consideration that he's a millionaire.

No, I'm 29, he's greater than 150% of my age, now being 45 and he's coming to Newgrounds. Either he's one of the older geeks (Bill Gates and Steve jobs have / had millions to their name and I doubt that either of them has ever visited NG) on Newgrounds, or he's not been here long enough to get bored of us.

With Rush doing 9 releases in 33 years, that's acceptable. Same with Maiden doing 10 in 31 years

With 2 live releases per decade, it would be 6/7 for Rush and 6 for Maiden. That feels more condense. As far as Maiden goes, I only have those from the remaster set, Rock in Rio (mostly for Bayley songs sung by Dickinson) and Flight 666 DVD. Have no need to get Maiden England (despite its rarity) or En Vivo.

Well, you're entitled to your opinion. I like the way that you can see the band's evolution through these live shows.

No, different setlists, but some songs always make it - Iron Maiden, or Number of the Beast, for example.

Those obviously can't be taken out of setlists, although Maiden have attempted to have setlists without Run to the Hills or The Trooper.

Taking Run to the Hills out works. I'm not so sure about the Trooper coming out, though. I have one main goal for Maiden left - to see them perform Rime of the Ancient Mariner live.

Probably best to have similar decks, like if you're running a burn deck.

Discussing tactics works well, but going for randomness can also be hilarious. Slithers work well for messing the game up, but so did playing my infect deck against them.

The problem with randomness is how it might backfire you for being with the wrong tag partner. Dark Ascension pre-release was tag teams for the most part which was why I wasn't too keen on it. However, that isn't the case for Avacyn Restored. Might look into attending the pre-release a week on Saturday.

Oh and one which allows you to gain 1 life for each green permanent you control and one life for each elf you have in play. That's usually in the region of 15-30 life for the player with a good elf deck.

Personally, I feel that if you take out Hallowed be thy name, you need to replace it with Childhood's end. You can't play Mariner and When the Wild Wind Blows on the same set, as they're the long epic ones that they have. I'd also substitute Run to the Hills for Flight of Icarus - their first chart hit after I was born.

To tell you the truth, I wouldn't be surprised if Childhood's End was never played at a Maiden show ever again. Most of Fear of the Dark tends to be discarded by most fans so they're not really songs they'll want to play.

No. Not at all. One of the weakest songs on their debut album. Give me Running Free, Sanctuary, Charlotte the Harlot and Iron Maiden from that album, but steer well clear of Phantom and Prowler.

You can't be serious about that. You heat that intro and the interlude? Damn brilliant stuff right there. Then again, the debut album is consistently awesome.

There are albums out there that I give five stars to every track. Iron Maiden is not one of these albums. I won't say I detest Phontom of the Opera and Prowler, but I'm not that much of a fan of them.

Well, I should learn the thousands of cards they have before I even get to that stage. Just so I won't get an obscure thrown at me and I have no fucking clue what it does. I expect Magic will have its tricks. ;)

Oh, that's easy - check the Wiki articles and see the new rules on mechanics for each set.

What I will do is give Duels of the Planewalkers some playtime prior to the pre-release. It might not contain the new game mechanics but it'll jog my mind.

That should help - I've got a test of my revamped elemental deck coming up on Thursday, so that will probably go badly wrong :P

You can still drop and give me 20, for reporting an achievement twice.

Listening to:

Strapping Young Lad - The New Black. DON'T YOU FUCK WITH METAL!

Yeah, I just noticed I passed the 23k mark, and since I was posting anway, I just included it. :P

Ah well, a little bonus, I suppose. What's your estimate to reaching 25k medal points? Mind you, I need to catch up on this.

I'm glad MySpace died out. They really made viewing userpages horribly unpleasant with custom layouts. At least Facebook looks cleaner with default layout for everyone.

MySpace was good to check out bands, but the new player doesn't work for me (tried it with Opera and Firefox. Both wouldn't work).

I actually think YouTube is the better option for finding new bands now. Soundcloud doesn't do a bad job, though.

You could have seen me but then I got a job, lol.

But would you have shown me your real self and not just your human disguise?

Just my human disguise. Can't have my true appearance shown in public.

No, I'm going with a dragon/drake collection. I'll find most of them on eBay, unless it's some vintage card that was only ever released in the alpha sets.

Goblins are much better.

Doesn't matter, I collect dragons, dammit!

OK Coop, where's your Maiden fanclub badge? Hand it over!

Do you have any game shops that cover Magic and such very well with regular events?

I know I should put more scope on passing an inactive user, but that rose me to 98th. This morning, I've passed Evark for 97th on the all time experienced list!

I'm not all that far behind 96th either, relatively speaking.

Yes, ManaLeak in Worcester is probably the best one by me.
